Hello! I was inspired by this weeks Papertrey Ink Make It Monday and created a card using the "double backgrounds" technique. I chose the Sheet Music bg, and Text bg set to create my background. I used The Sweet Life, and Stitched Sentiments to create my flowers and sentiment. I hope you like my card! I'm happy you stopped by and I hope you have a great day!

I finally had a chance to make a card "just for fun" and I was happy to use my new Papertrey Ink stamp set "Back To School". This set and matching dies is SO cute, and since I have a sister-in-law starting her first year as a pre-k teacher I thought it would be fun to make a card especially for her. The yellow ruler is washi tape that I found at my local Wal-Mart for .97. It is SO cute! I'm happy you stopped by and I hope you have a great day!

Hello and welcome to The Play Date Cafe! It is wonderful to be back! We have a beautiful color story for you this week:

Cream, Melon, Cantaloupe

We also have a fantastic sponsor this week that generously supplied the design team with stamps and dies:

Here is the card I created using this weeks color story!

To create my card I used the MFT stamp set "Dandelion Wishes" and the MFT Die-namics set "Dandelion Stems and Toppers". I used my Fresh Inks, and A Muse Studio inks to stamp the flower top, and Stampin Up ink to stamp the stem. I enjoyed playing with the stamps, and will be adding more MFT stamps and dies to my collection very soon!

What better way to beat the heat of summer then by thinking about S-N-O-W! I was thrilled when Meredith asked me to be the Guest Designer for this weeks Festive Friday Challenge!

To create my card I used the Stampin Up classic "Lovely As A Tree". I stamped the trees using SU Soft Suede, and then used a bottle of liquid snow (from Hobby Lobby) to accent my branches. I created a quilted background using paper from Authentique. My sentiment and sentiment die are from Papertrey Ink. I'm happy you stopped by and I hope you will play along with us this week at the Festive Friday Challenge!
